PROGRESS return codes
WHAT ARE RETURN CODES (STATUS CODES)?
Return codes report the exit status of a program. They are used to
determine whether program execution completed successfully without
error.
WHAT DO THE VALUES MEAN?
Generally, an exit status, or return code zero (0) indicates that a
program execution completed successfully. Any non-zero values are
used to indicate failure and may sometimes indicate other conditions.
DOES PROGRESS USE NON-ZERO RETURN CODES?
PROGRESS guarantees the meaning of non-zero return codes only for the
proutil <dbname> -C busy and proutil <dbname> -C holder commands. Any
other non-zero return codes captured from other PROGRESS programs do
not have special meanings, therefore cannot be used to monitor any
program execution. If a program returns a non-zero exit status but
appears to have completed successfully, this is probably a bug and it
should be reported to PROGRESS Technical Support.
PROUTIL BUSY/HOLDER RETURN CODES.
Proutil busy/holder return codes can be used to determine whether a
database is running in single or multi user mode or is not in use.
UNIX,DOS,OS/2 Return code
proutil <dbname> -C busy
Database not in use 0
Database in use 6
proutil <dbname> -C holder
Database not in use 0
Single user mode 14
Multi user mode 16
Note: BTOS/CTOS return code is eight (8) when the database is in use.
VMS Status code
